Chief <br />Category Equipment Priority n/a <br />mual Siren Replacement -Old Thunderbeam Sirens <br />14-2016 -Location to be determined - if necessary <br />12 -Outdoor Warning Siren Radio Board Upgrade <br />G <br />i <br />~. <br />Justification ~ <br />the old Thunderbeam sirens are now becoming a maintenance problem. They are planned to be replaced one per year <br />zntil they are all replaced. <br />The Federal Communications Commission is requiring all radio systems to migrate to narrowband 12.5 kHz channels <br />by January 1, 2013. The City of Elk River's outdoor warning sirens are activated via a radio frequency on the old <br />spectrum. In order to be compliant and ensure uninterrupted operation of the sirens, the radio board must be updated in <br />all of the nineteen sirens. The new radio controller will also provide two-way communication for real-time system <br />monitoring and maintenance. This uperade will be phased over two-years. <br />Expenditures 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 Total <br />Equipment 69,000 16,000 16,000 16,000 117,000 <br />Total 69,000 16,000 16,000 16,000 117,000 <br />Funding Sources 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 Total <br />Emergency Management Fund 69,000 16,000 16,000 16,000 117,000 <br />Total 69,000 16,000 16,000 16,000 117,000 <br />2012-2016 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN Page 7 <br />
